JAKARTA - Member of Commission III of the DPR RI from the Gerindra faction, Habiburokhman, regretted that the working meeting (Raker) with the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud Md was canceled today. Moreover, the reason for the cancellation of the agenda to discuss the issue of illegal transactions of Rp. 300 trillion at the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu) was only because the invitation letter to Mahfud had not yet been signed by the leadership. "It is very unfortunate that the meeting with the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs did not happen today, because a letter from the leadership of the DPR to the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs has not been signed yet," said Habiburokhman. In fact, continued Habiburokhman, members of Commission III of the DPR are very ready to accept the presence of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs today, as well as Mahfud Md. The Gerindra legislator for the DKI Jakarta electoral district was worried that the postponement of the meeting with Mahfud today made the public think that the DPR was not serious about responding to suspicious transactions at the Ministry of Finance. "Commission III is also confused about why something like this could happen. We are worried that the public will think that we are not serious about dealing with the Rp300 T issue," said Habiburokhman. Even Habiburokhman admitted that he did not know about the change in the agenda for the meeting with Mahfud, which was postponed tomorrow afternoon. Moreover, he said, the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs is said to be going to Papua with President Joko Widodo tomorrow, Tuesday, March 201. "It is not clear when the next schedule will be because tomorrow the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs will accompany the President to Papua, and on Wednesday and Thursday on holiday," said Habiburokhman. As is known, Commission III of the DPR RI canceled a working meeting (raker) with Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Mahfud Md and PPATK Head Ivan Yustiavandana which is scheduled for today, Monday, March 20. Originally, the working meeting was held this afternoon at 14.00 WIB. However, the agenda was suddenly postponed tomorrow, Wednesday, March 21, at 15.00 WIB or 3 pm. This information is known from the change in the agenda received by journalists on Monday, March 20, morning.
